I would like to begin receiving payments
electronically but have questions about
Direct Deposit?

What are the advantages of Direct Deposit?

NO LONGER will you have to visit your financial institution to deposit your
check. Why spend countless hours standing in lines or sitting at a drive through
window when your check can be automatically deposited into your account. It goes
into your account, no matter where you are. An average person will spend
anywhere from 8.5 to 24 hours each year waiting in lines at financial
institutions.

Another benefit of direct deposit is the ability to view your electronic notice
of deposit online through VISTA. From there you would have the ability to print
your enod, print to pdf, download into Quicken, Money, or save as an MS Word,
Excel, QIF, OFX, CSV, Tabbed Delimited Text or XML document. These
features can be made available to you upon request. You will have to contact
YOUR payroll administrator to set this up with the Auditor's Office.

What happens if there is a problem at my bank or if I change my bank?

For problems contact the ePayments Division.
It will be researched and corrected immediately. When making a change in your
account information please remember to complete a direct deposit authorization.
All change requests must be received by our office at least six days prior to
the pay date or it may not be processed until the following pay period.

I consider my personal banking to be confidential. Will this be compromised by
direct deposit?

Absolutely not ! In fact, direct deposit is one of the most confidential methods
of processing a check. Paper checks processed through traditional methods may
pass through as many as twelve persons before reaching your account.

Direct deposit practically eliminates this problem. Check data is more secure
since bank tellers and clerks do not see your check.

How safe is Direct Deposit?

With direct deposit your payment cannot be lost. Direct Deposit eliminates the
possibility of lost or stolen checks. Nationally, over four million paper checks
are lost or stolen each year.

When I click on a PDF form I get a blank page and/or an error message. What can I do?

Certain builds of Netscape, Internet Explorer and AOL do not properly display embedded PDF files,
even if Acrobat Reader is installed. Instead they display a blank screen, an error message or a
blank screen with a small document image in the upper left corner.

Examples of possible error messages:

"File does not begin with '%PDF-'"

"Error reading xref entry."

To get around this Adobe recommends configuring Acrobat as a helper not a plug-in.
Here's how you do it:
